Flat Earthers.. Craziest beliefs!

[CosyFires]

Just been scrolling through FB and come across a post where there are genuine people with genuine beliefs that the Earth is flat.

I honestly believed it was just a joke and that people were taking the piss. Apparently not!

AIBU to ask what the craziest beliefs you've come across in British modern society?

Oh Natsku, you've spoilt it now

What's a billion years between friends?

Dinosaur Myth thread

SlackerMum - I have both visited Austrailia and held a koala (they are surprisingly fragile and smell like eucalyptus!) - they're definitely real - unless I have been spectacularly duped!

You'd have to have been on strong drugs to invent a kangaroo.

That Donald Trump would make a good President

The Australia doesn't exist conspiracy was on the Flat Earth forums too, people would get so angry about that one.

Sorry to disappoint anyone about Flat Earthers, if it helps I do think some might be genuine believers.

RedGrape thanks for the link to the dinosaur thread thread - missed it first time round - funniest thing I've read for ages!

If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

Brilliant!!

Next you will be trying to convince us there is an old man in the sky sorting people into good 'uns and bad 'uns.

CaveMum, quite right about Princess Diana. The only reason she didn't survive the accident was because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. But hey, conspiracy theories are much more fun.

My uncle, who worked for the United Nations, was convinced that 9/11 was all a giant Zionist conspiracy.

Someone better tell the Aussie's they arent real........actually dont. We dont want a Westworld scenerio.

Me too, and I've been to South America.

Maybe I was jut in Singapore both times.

Australia is actually a film set? That's fabulous

My mum's partner is a real believer. You can't argue with him because he say's that all proof is fake.

Cant argue with stupid.

Ah...I get it now. When you board a flight to this 'Australia' place they pump anaesthetic gas into the plane, run round and change everyone's watches, tablets, phones etc so it looks like loads of time has passed. Then a fairly quick jaunt to South America that has totally the same weather etc. All makes perfect sense!

Oh I didn't know about fake Australia. I thought it was Finland that wasn't real...

What I really want to know is how you get 'in' on the gig.... presume it's paid right? I could hang about Trafalgar Square and pretend to be an Ozzie tourist for cash!

Yet I do, so I wonder what that says about me.

Yeah, that'd be the easiest job going.

The Flat Earth society at my university was just a drinking club.

But some people do believe it. I always remember in a group of friends we started talking about conspiracy theories, and then someone mentioned flat earth conspirators. We all laughed, until one of our friends said - I believe the earth is flat. And then spent 20 minutes "explaining" how we had all been duped. We were all like this and
